Miss Stella Smith, the accomplished
| milliner, who has been for some time
associated with Miss Lizzie Cornell,
left last Wednesday, for her home in
| Vancouver, to remain for an indefinite

1t has been estimated that the es-
Enlistment of the Methodist Univer
si.y and Catholic Hospital at this
place would add 500 to our population
the first year, with corresponding
continuous expenditure OF money
| among our business men. The acquis-
ition Of these two elements of pros
perity is practically optional with the
property owners of Olympia.
The City Council held Il session
Wednesday evening at which the May
or and members whose terms had cx-
PRED gracefully retired, and were i'm
mcdiately installed members of the

ARD, is concise presentation of the
city affairs. The personnel of the
standing committees remains I'M
changed.
| The removal of several rookeries of
buildings from Mrs. Warbass' prop
erty, on Main street, and the removal
ton of the remaining ones, has added
very materially to the appearance of
that business center, and with the re-
moval of the barn belonging to Mr..
Young, to be done soon, will re-
duce the rate of insurance in Block
IL, and doubtless improve its sanitary
condition.
The Trustees Of the Olympia Col
legiate Institute are elated over the
fact that an expert, employed for that
purpose, puts the cost of finishing and
furnishing the upper story of the In
stitute building much below the estim-
ate they themselves had previously
made. The contract for doing the
work work would have been closed be-
fore this, but for the illness of Rev. J.
F. DeVore, Chairman of the Board
of Trustees.
At the municipal election held Mon
day, the former members Of the Coun-
Gil were reelected, viz: +. I. Young
in the First Ward, O. r. Simenson in
the Second and J. G. Lybarger in the
Third. Mr.. II. A. Chambers was re-
elected Mayor. There was but one
ticket in the field except in the Third
Ward, when Mr.. ID. S. B. Henry's
name was introduced late in the day,
and he received fair proportion of
the vote against the odds of an early
start by his opponent. An exceeding
ly small vote was cast, indicating that
the people were content to allow the
public improvements now under way
remain in the same hands until COM
pleted.
| Contrast, dear reader, the appear
ance of thrift and enterprise which
may be witnessed any hour of the day
in the establishments of our liberal
and systematic advertisers with the
forlorn looks of those whose names
are never seen in the home newspa.
pers. 1t may not be wholly owing to
the use OF printers ink, but it is the
result OF that liberal, generous, live
and-let-live policy, which enlists the
support and patronage of the public.
